Can we use NEG models to predict migration flows? : an example of CEE accession countries
Kancs, D'Artis - 2005
In this paper we develop an analytically solvable and structurally estimable economic geography model and apply it to predict migration flows for the period following the CEE’s integration with the EU. The main innovation of our approach is that it endogenises both explanatory variables and...

Home market effect hypothesis in a multi-country world
Bourtchouladze, Nana - 2007
The home market effect (HME) is commonly defined as a more than proportional supply response to a demand shock. Recent theoretical literature, however, shows that predictions from the traditional twocountry framework do not always survive in multi-country settings. This is because 'third'...

Trade Costs, Market Access and Economic Geography : Why the Empirical Specification of Trade Costs Matters
Bosker, Erik Maarten; Garretsen, Harry - 2021
Trade costs are crucial in new economic geography (NEG) models. The unavailability of actual trade costs data requires the approximation of trade costs. Most NEG studies do not deal with the ramifications of the particular trade costs specification used. This paper shows that the specification...

Explaining the Level of Relative Investment Specialisation: A Spatial Econometric Analysis of EU Regions
Stirböck, Claudia - 2002
This paper analyses the level of relative specialisation in terms of gross fixed capital formation in EU regions. Larger market and regional sizes diminish; a higher unemployment rate, population density, the fact of being a central region, the distance to the economic centre, and economic...
